Oh oh oh oh oh! THIS. Look at this!

These are all awesome suggestions, but I also have a few Customize your MFP goals (Home >> Goals >> Change Goals >> Custom) and up your protein and lower your carbs. I have PCOS, so I do 40% carbs, and 30% protein and fat. Protein is good for your body, especially when losing weight. It helps you feel full, and it's going…

All the serious people on these threads make me laugh harder than the thread itself. :D

Exactly. It's a combination of many things.

And this too. You can't defend yourself without getting in trouble. And teachers are afraid to intervene because of the consequences they themselves may face. Bullying is such a touchy subject. It's scary to hear about. Especially with really young kids taking their lives because they see no other way out. :( It breaks my…

See, from what my parents told me, and what I've personally experienced, bullying happens a lot less NOW then it did when my parents went to high school. I'll probably be hated for saying this, but I'm blaming technology and the media. My generation has no idea how to communicate. We don't know how to ask for help, we…

-Keep a bottle near you at all times (keep one sitting on the kitchen counter, by your desk, in your car, etc). Every time you see the water bottle, take a couple big drinks. Every time you think about food, take a couple big gulps. -Or do a chug-a-lug. One before breakfast, one after breakfast. One before lunch, one after…

NO, DON'T WAIT. ASK. Trust me, asking help from others is one of the best things you can do. Because then you're asking from people who have experienced it themselves, and you're probably giving somebody a little ego boost when asking for THEIR advice. Also, if I was asked for advice by newbies, I'd be so happy! Because it…

I'm quoting this to point out some exact words that you said so others will notice. Please be sure to note that it was said, "... by standing around in a gym..." This is where I completely agree with the OP (I just got flamed for saying the same thing). It is frustrating, when you're trying to go to the gym and just get…

Bump! Thank you. :)

PB&J on squishy fake white bread grosses me out. Give me some dark, nutty wheat bread, and I'm a happy camper. :)

Statistics 101 Vocab: *confounding variable- In statistics, a confounding variable (also confounding factor, lurking variable, a confound, or confounder) is an extraneous variable in a statistical model that correlates (positively or negatively) with both the dependent variable and the independent variable. *Correlation-…

Well, I'm not sure if I count... I lived in Germany for a year (with Germans and stuff, haha, not in an American city). After a few months I could easily pick out Americans by hearing an accent across the room (without even comprehending words). Personally, I found the accent from Ohio really raunchy. I'm not sure why, it…

-Continuing to learn German (I was a foreign exchange student my junior year of high school and learned a lot, but I'm always trying to learn more). -Baking/decorating cupcakes (it's sort of an expensive hobby, but all my friends LOVE me for it, haha) -Photography -Playing the cello -Writing

I got a lot of money, which I plan on using for some new running shoes. I also got a Nalgene water bottle! That was the best part, haha.

Bump, thanks for this. :)

I think I just fell in love with you. :) Thanks. Also, I lived in Germany for a year (and in the German section of Germany, not on an American air base or anything). I went to school in Germany, had insurance in Germany, bought my food in Germany, the works. And if you asked me whether I'd choose America or Germany, I'd…

Even though I'm a girl, I completely agree. And for those of you saying we should love our own bodies, etc, etc. Just because we post a picture of a smokin' hot body doesn't mean we don't love ourselves. I love my body exactly the way it is right now, and I'm lovin' it more every pound I drop and every day that goes by. :)

Seafood (except trout, I can eat trout) Cottage cheese. I use it in protein waffles, but that's it. It takes all my effort not to throw up when putting it in the batter. Greek yogurt. I don't know, it's just too thick for me. Any food that squirts/pops/explodes/gushes in your mouth (keep it clean, guys). For example: peas,…

Miranda Lambert's. It's average but still nice. It's an achievable goal for me. I believe she's a size 6 or 8, which is pretty much my goal. :)

HOLLLLLAAAAA! :)

This thread makes me feel bad for all the guys out there that think they have no chance. Coming from a girl, I promise you, we're not all jerks. Some of us do appreciate a compliment, no matter where/who it comes from. One compliment is good. Multiple compliments and then following a person around a store or something…

Try English cucumbers. They're a lot better about the whole burping thing.

I'm honored to have my posts be part of the Unofficial MFP FAQ. :)

9, I love your hair. :)

Hard-boiled egg whites (I don't like the yolk hard-boiled, the texture is funky to me) Apples Roasted apsaragus My homemade protein waffles Bananas Soda cupcakes String cheese Chicken breasts (or homemade popcorn chicken) Pears Oroweat Sandwich Thins (I like the Whole Wheat flavor) Basically, I like food. Lots of of it.

I've been overweight my whole life (even as a 5 year old), and it was all because of my diet. I actually played sports year-round as a kid (volleyball, soccer, and softball) and all the way up until high school. I also have PCOS, which could be another issue, especially since I gained a TON of weight the moment I hit…

I eat Dannon Light and Fit. And while I know it's bad for me and filled with God-knows-what, I still eat one ocassionally. I'm more likely to die in a car accident than from eating some sweetened yogurt, so I'm okay with eating it for dessert every once in awhile. I also tried Greek yogurt after hearing it had SO much…

Can I still join? I'd love to be on a team!!
